XP resize problem

I want to install linux on an existing XP hard disk.
I wanted to resize the only NTFS partition with PM8.0 but I get an error (#27 cant lock drive).
Hard disk is 40Gb 50% used , defranmented and I want to set free 5Gb. Want to keep XP running.

Cant find this error on PM web.

Suggestions ???
Thanks!!!!

XP profesional.... Anyway i've already solved the problem.
i've boot the system from PM's rescue disk and i was able to resize from there since XP was not running!

Thanks for your help anyway!
